Night is gathering.

Lin Qiye walked up the stairs and went up to the top floor of the villa. At the edge of the fence, a figure was leaning there, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky.

"Can't sleep?" Lin Qiye walked to his side and said.

Baili Pangpang looked back and nodded silently, "A little bit."

"What are you thinking about?"

Baili Pangpang looked at the villa that had fallen into darkness and sighed. "I personally picked this villa. It took a lot of effort to persuade Captain Wei Xiuming to accept it. At that time, the other members of the 010 team were unwilling to move out of that small underground garage because they felt that night watchmen should not live such a luxurious life.

But I didn't expect that after just over a year, they would become what they are now...

I wonder if I hadn’t persuaded them to move out, would this have never happened?”

Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, "You just simply wanted them to live a better life. Of course, you were not wrong. What was wrong was that they could not withstand the subsequent violence, and what was wrong was that the Baili family corrupted them."

Baili Pangpang was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Qiye, you said...are all the night watchmen really good people?"

Lin Qiye stared into his eyes and shook his head. "It's a bit idealistic to say that all the Night Watchmen are good people. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. There are thousands of Night Watchmen, and everyone has different ideas. Who can guarantee that every one of them is a good person?

But what is certain is that the vast majority of these people are good people.

Captain Chen Muye, Hong Ying, Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, Zhao Kongcheng, Yuan Gang, Wang Lu, Fang Yanghui, Li Deyang, Qin Kai... We have seen so many night watchmen so far, but only a few of them can be considered bad guys.

Moreover, people cannot be simply divided into good and bad people."

Lin Qiye raised his head, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and said slowly:

“Good people are not necessarily all good; bad people are not necessarily all bad.

This world is so complicated.”

…

The other side of the city.

Shen Qingzhu carried the drunken Ninth Seat on his back and opened the door of the shabby rental house.

He placed the Ninth Seat on the bed of the room, where he turned over, murmured a few words, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Qingzhu looked at him at the door for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room and returned to his own room.

He walked into the room and locked the door. Instead of turning on the lights, he pulled up the curtains to let the bright moonlight shine into the room, illuminating the floor tiles in bright white.

Shen Qingzhu sat down slowly in the corner.

The index finger of his right hand gently touched the wall behind him. On that finger, an inconspicuous black ring glowed slightly.

On the other side of the wall was the bed where the ninth seat was sleeping.

As long as Shen Qingzhu puts a little spiritual power into the [Soul-Breaking Sword], the black soul blade will penetrate the body of the Ninth Seat and completely destroy his soul, leaving him with no chance of resistance...

He would die in his sleep without any consciousness.

But Shen Qingzhu hesitated.

In his mind, the scenes of his interactions with the Ninth Seat over the past few days quickly flashed through his mind, and he began to struggle internally.

To kill or not to kill?

The white moonlight sprinkled on his body, and he was like a sculpture, motionless.

After a long time, he turned his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky outside the window, and took a deep breath.

The ringed finger left the wall.

"You're an exception..." he muttered.

…

A few days later.

The former base of the 010 team in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

"Captain of the Fifth Reserve Team Lin Qiye, team members An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, Jia Lan... Now, on behalf of the Night Watch's top brass, I announce the verdict on this incident."

Zuo Qing stood at the door of the villa and spoke seriously.

In front of him, Lin Qiye and others stood there straight as if they were back in the training camp, waiting for the verdict.

Baili Pangpang swallowed his saliva and raised his hand cautiously, "Then...what about me?"

"Stand up too, and listen carefully." Zuo Qing glanced at him and continued, "After the intelligence department's evidence collection and investigation, and the trial by the Night Watch Military Court, Baili Xin, the former chairman of the Baili Group and the honorary senior executive of the Night Watch, was dismissed from his position as the honorary senior executive of the Night Watch, and all business activities of his industries were banned. He was sent to the fasting house and imprisoned for life for tampering with the confidential files of the Night Watch, murdering Baili Tuming, and bribing the 010 team stationed in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Since Baili Xin was already dead, the imprisonment was automatically cancelled.

All members of the 010 team except Miao Su who accepted bribes and abandoned the principles of the night watchmen were stripped of their status as night watchmen and sent to the fasting house for life imprisonment.

Miao Su, former deputy captain of the 010 team, will serve as the captain of the new 010 team and will immediately rebuild the 010 team."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Baili Pangpang and said, "Victim Baili Tuming, are you dissatisfied with the verdict of Baili Xin, Wei Xiuming and others?"

"I am no longer Baili Tuming." Baili Pangpang shook his head, "But I am still satisfied with this result."

Baili Xin was already dead, so he certainly had no objection to this result.

After all, Wei Xiuming and others were once his teammates and were relatively caring towards him. There was no need to kill them all. Life imprisonment in a detention center seemed to be a good outcome.

Zuo Qing nodded and continued: "

Everyone's heart was suddenly lifted.

"All members of the Fifth Reserve Team unprovoked a large-scale terrorist attack in the city, killing 13 people including Baili Jing, destroying a large number of buildings, and causing extremely bad social impacts...

However, from a humanitarian perspective, the actions of the Fifth Reserve can be understood as legitimate defense to a certain extent. Since the incident did not cause any social impact and public assets were not damaged, the following penalties were imposed based on the comprehensive ruling:

Temporarily cancel the qualification of the Fifth Reserve Team to be converted into a special team, cancel all mission operations, cancel all rights of the reserve team leader, but retain its personnel composition, retain the right to free action, and immediately go to Huaihai City to receive comprehensive education for an indefinite period of time. "

After Zuo Qing finished reading the verdict on the Fifth Reserve Team, he looked up at Lin Qiye.

Cao Yuan and others sighed silently, looking somewhat depressed.

In the end, they lost the qualification to join the special team.

Only Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other, frowning slightly, as if they were thinking about something.

Zuo Qing saw the expressions of the two people. A faint smile flashed across his face, and he slowly said, "Captain Lin Qiye, is there anything you don't understand about this punishment?"
